Isaiah Dada-Mascoll scored a consolation goal for the visitors 15 minutes from time.

It was the perfect way to sign off pre-season in preparation for Saturday’s big kick-off in the National League North, when Brackley Town will be the visitors to Victory Park.

Chorley boss Andy Preece said: “It was a fantastic warm-up for us. The lads were fantastic...some great performances.”
